Curate Your Own

Curator John Whitaker meets with Judi Alston from One to One Development Trust to make plans for Curate Your Own project.

Curate Your Own is an intergenerational project
encouraging residents to explore museums being curators of their own exhibition.
Participants will use digital media to document artefacts relating to their
community sharing stories through digital recordings. An art installation for
both Wakefield and Pontefract Museum will be produced along with a book
documenting the journey and success of theproject.

It is funded through the Council's Creative Partners grant
scheme which supports cultural excellence and innovation across the district, and run by One to One Development Trust.
Projects deliver arts and cultural activity that make a real difference to the
well being, health, happiness and life chances of our people, places and
communities.

Curate Your Own will be delivered across the summer, the
end results will be displayed in the galleries next year.
